Best way to take Ferrous fumarate & Levothyroxine

Morning, does anyone know the best time to take ferrous fumarate tablets. The research I've done gives conflicting advice, non given from my GP. Some sites recommend leaving 12, 6 or 4hrs after taking levothyroxine. I'm meant to take 3 ferrous a day, at the moment only managing 1. Any advice gratefully received! Thanks
